CURT SCHILLING LOVES HIM SOME BOSTON

Good news (maybe) for Boston fans: 40-year-old starting pitcher Curt Schilling has signed a one-year deal to remain a Red Sox. A Red Sock? A Red Stocking!

[Schilling and the Sox] have reached an agreement on a one-year deal worth about $8 million in base salary and millions more in potential incentives, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports. The agreement is pending Schilling, 40, passing a physical exam.

The deal contains $3 million in performance bonuses based on innings pitched and $2 million based on weight clauses.

Weight clauses? Look out. Bartolo Colon got rich off those.

Anyway, I, for one, look forward to one more season from the reclusive Schilling. Asperger's can be paralyzing condition, and it's nice to see heroes like #38 tackle it head-on.

They've linked here a few times. Just the other day el pres was talking about how he was up late, looking for shit to steal from With Leather. That almost counts.

Barstool Sports sound more like Bartool Sports.

Sorry, that's the best I got.

Haha! A Boston joke involving the word "Wicked"? Great job Brooklyn – way to go!

I'm glad Schilling re-signed. Staying with the Red Sox means I can still hate him. The only good thing he's ever done is "Major Tom".

I wasn't aware of the actual content of BS. The only three times I've seen it are the three I meantioned.

I feel like I have cheated on you, Matt. Please don't leave me!

This is exactly what is wrong with America. Curt Schilling gets 2 million dollars if he only orders 2 cheeseburgers at McD's instead of his usual 4. Fuck the Red Sox.

Little know fact, Boston, aka Entitletown, is also home to shitty DD coffee.

@Devang, I thought DD coffee was the only good thing to come out of Boston.

With Leather makes Barstool Sports look like a high school project.

Or like 12 Seahawks Street. Take your pick.

The #1 thing I gleaned from looking through these pictures was that girls in Boston have fat arms. Or at least the girls who go to Barstool Sports parties have fat arms. Let's assume it's the second, because I really want to visit Boston at some point.

And I don't want to only see fat-armed girls.

What, no mention of the blackface pictures? Matt, does my investigative journalism do NOTHING for you?
